Chapter 968 The Indignity of Pillory
What had Rowen just done to Ayan was obviously a sign of warning to those standing around, which
had stunned them and left them daring not to make any trouble.
At this moment, Rowen had received a gift box from someone, and as his eyes were fixed on the name
written on it, his eyes opened wide with astonishment as if he was struck by something terrible.
Noticing the change of expressions on Rowen's face, Maximilian thought that only an incredibly
amazing gift or an address with supreme social status could make Rowen as stunned as such.
There was only a line of short words printed on the gift box — the Emperor Family. Maximilian began to
wonder why Rowen was astonished to see the name of the Emperor Family.
Rowen opened the box, and found that there was a brand-name watch inside and a piece of paper
lying under the bottom. He took a sigh as he saw the content of the letter.
Maximilian said plainly, "Come on, let me have a check on this paper."
Rowen, without hesitation, handed the paper over to Maximilian and said, "Things have grown
complicated, Mr. Lee."
Maximilian ran over the whole letter, and read a sense of threatening between the lines.
Indeed, things had grown complicated. He had never expected that someone would ever dare to
threaten Rowen. Though he was still confused about all this, he chose to step out and help Rowen as
much as possible.
"Don't worry, Rowen. No matter who wrote this letter, I will make him pay for that." Maximilian said.
Rowen was touched by the unexpected words of Maximilian. "Mr. Lee, I must say that he is by no
means someone I can simply deal with. He is from the Emperor Family." Rowen sighed, desperately.
Maximilian was dumbed and confused to hear the name of the Emperor Family. It was quite natural
since he had never been to W city before.
For Rowen, he would only be too anxious to leave this matter to Maximilian and get himself out, if
things went back to an earlier period. But now, since he was in cooperation with Maximilian, he would
never get Maximilian into the conflict between him and the Emperor Family.
"To be honest, Mr. Lee, the background of the Emperor Family is ultimately profound, and no one could
ever live his days if he got himself messed with the Emperor Family." Rowen said.
Dumbed, Maximilian could feel that Rowen was hiding something between him and the Emperor
Family. Then, he decided to linger no more on this issue.
"Alright. But this brand-name watch is fake, which is totally useless." Suddenly, Maximilian said.
"What? But it's impossible, since it was the gift sent by the Emperor Family!" Rowen asked incredibly,
thinking that even the professions could hardly tell any difference between it with those authentic, not to
mention Maximilian, an amateur.
What's more, it was something sent here by the Emperor Family, a family which was least likely to send
fake products as gifts to others.
"I'm not kidding. You can just find someone to have a check on it."
Rowen then did exactly as Maximilian had told him. However, what they hadn't realized was that there
were some Emperor Martial's men spying around and eavesdropping the conversation between their
two.
They were a little annoyed to hear the words of Maximilian. Previously, they intended to send Rowen a
counterfeit, and then spread rumors to the public that Rowen wore fake brand-name watch in his daily
life. However, they had never expected that Maximilian would ever step out and intervene in their plan.
Without any hesitation, Rowen then called up a group of connoisseurs. Those connoisseurs gathered
around Rowen and asked, "How may we serve you, Rowen?"
"I need you guys to have a check on this brand-name watch, and tell me whether it's fake or authentic."
Said Rowen, and handed the watch over to those connoisseurs.
Then, they gave a detailed check on it. After about five minutes, they said, "it is fake, Rowen."
Hearing the words, Rowen's face grew sulk: he could not bear anyone to send him a threatening letter,
not to mention any gifts with counterfeits inside.
Rowen turned to Maximilian and expressed his gratitude, "Thanks for your precise insight and
judgement, Mr. Lee."
Maximilian waved his hand and answered, "It's OK."
For those the Emperor Family's men sneaking aside and seeing all this, they were extremely
unpleasant to see their plan being disrupted by Maximilian. At this moment, some of them thought
that Maximilian and Rowen were seemingly having a close relationship since they talked and laughed
just like friends, while others thought that maybe Rowen was just reproaching him.
Some of the men then walked towards the two, turned to Maximilian and sneered, "I guess you have
just irritated Rowen, haven't you?" And then they said to Rowen, "How about we take care of him for
you, Rowen?"
They were trying to play up to Rowen: with one word from him, they would immediately rush
to Maximilian and take him down.
However, Rowen was seemed not so happy to see them. He shouted with an irritable voice. "What the
hell are you guys doing around here? It's none of your business. Now, get out or I would really like to
teach you guys a lesson for that."
Those men dumbed, and realized that they had previously mistaken the relationship
between Rowen and Maximilian.
"Sorry for bringing you so much trouble with this matter, Mr. Lee." Rowen apologized.
Maximilian was first dumbed to hear the apology of Rowen, and then waved his hand and answered, Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"It's not a big deal."
Those standing around were stunned by the humble attitude of Rowen towards Maximilian, which they
had never expected.
Rowen gave them a cold glance and flatteringly turned to Maximilian, "I'm wondering about the rest of
your schedule for the day, Mr. Lee."
"Nothing special. I think it's time for me to head back to H city." Maximilian shrugged.
As Maximilian was having a brief talk with Rowen, on the other hand, Victoria had finished up all the
contracts. She was more than satisfied with these contracts lying on the table since they would be a
stepping-stone to help Topyuan Group rank above any other companies in H city.
She stretched her body, and soon the gathering came to an end. Afterwards, Maximilian was in the car
together with Victoria and on his way back to H city, listening to Victoria excitedly describing how many
co-operations she had successfully made with those big clients.
As Maximilian was about to take a nap for a while, he suddenly heard a faint sound of some sort of
mechanical device, which was so faint that an ordinary person could never notice.
He said to the driver, "Stop the car, please."
The driver stopped the car without any hesitation. As Maximilian got out of the car and checked it
around, he found out something abnormal about the car.
